2010 Colorado HeartCycle Training Rides

We always need ride starters and would appreciate if you could volunteer to start a ride during the year. Heart Cycle offers ride start locations throughout the Denver metropolitan and Front Range areas to provide a variety of convenient start locations and cycling terrain.

Training Ride Starter Guidelines are available here.
The Heartcycle Training Ride Waiver and Sign-up Sheet is here.
If you would like to volunteer to start a ride, click here to fill out the form.

Rides are conducted when the temperature is at least 40 degrees and roads are dry; and subject to the final decision of the Ride Starter at the ride's starting point on the day of the ride. In cases when it is clear ahead of time that conditions will be unsafe for riding, the ride may be canceled ahead of time. Should this occur, a notice would be placed on the HeartCycle Training Rides website (this page).

All training ride participants are required to wear an approved bicycle helmet, obey all traffic signs and signals, ride single file when there is automobile traffic within 100 yards, and practice courtesy with other cyclists and motorists.  Your cooperation is appreciated.

The 2010 training ride schedule can be found below.

Meeting time is a quarter to the hour; start time is on the hour.
